Description

## Description

The “Open” clause is too loose. The proposed openness models are not equivalent and do not enjoy consensus within the community. It does not meet the need to require genuine reciprocity in terms of openness with a viral effect. The inability to specify the chosen level of openness is problematic.

## Expectation

The entire logic of voluntary licenses is to be able to clearly and deliberately specify the permitted uses. The user must be able to precisely define the level of openness — or restriction — they want for the model.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named, so begin by locating the definition of the “Open” clause in the project. Done means the clause lets users deliberately specify a precise openness or restriction level and addresses the requested reciprocity with a viral effect.
